It has been two years since the Pakistani Islamic scholar left Guantanamo Bay. After six-and-a-half years of imprisonment as a suspected enemy combatant he was released without being convicted and without an explanation. According to accounts by Madni and others, his experience involved torture, extraordinary rendition across several continents and five years at the U.S. prison in Cuba. Mohammed Burki, Madni's physician in Pakistan, describes his patient as a deeply troubled man who is "still far far away from being normal again."Madni now suffers from a catalogue of ailments, including migraines, paranoia, depression, panic attacks and temper tantrums, Burki told NBC News. "Before I could treat any of those, I had to try and get him off the morphine," says Burki, who treated Madni for two years after his release. "TheAmericans had made an addict out of him.The CIA and the U.S. military did not respond to multiple requests for comment on Madni's detention and subsequent release. The United States has explicitly denied torturing detainees.
I really do not know what to say to this article, but in Quantanamo Bay be detained should be enough. What mad this man an adict; what happened to his brain that made him so different. I believe that the detainees did torture him. I think keeping someone in Guantanamo without any conviction of a crime is totally wrong. The people who tortured the man deserve to b kept and the person who put him there deserves it to.
